Chapter 2228 - 2237: Reluctant to Part

After saying that, James Black took a few more out from the coat pocket and placed them in Jane Sampson’s pocket, "Take these home and enjoy them slowly."

After those events last night, before everyone could react, James Black was already holding Jane Sampson’s hand and walking away.

The crowd left behind was dumbfounded.

"This skill of pleasing one’s wife is quite tough to learn~" Alexander Forest said with a worried look to Nina Rice, "Fine, fine, we won’t watch. These two are always feeding us dog food all day, it’s annoying. We won’t invite them to play next time."

Nina Rice rolled her eyes at Alexander Forest and walked away.

"So after all this time, he was just picking fruit for his wife to eat." Oscar Wilson clicked his tongue several times, "This is quite the move, look how James Black has coaxed Jane Sampson, she’s grinning like a little old woman."

Jane Sampson was indeed coaxed into a very happy mood by James Black.

Being led all the way back by James Black, she was grinning from ear to ear.

She would occasionally turn her head to look at James Black, her pair of eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Just now, you climbed the tree just to pick this biggest one for me?" After returning to the entertainment room, Jane Sampson followed James Black to the sink to wash the fruit.

The red fruit, still glistening with water, was held in her palm, but she couldn’t bear to take a bite.

The branches of the tree were also hung with many fruits, and James Black went up the tree specifically to pick the biggest and reddest one for her.

"Yes." James Black nodded, seeing Jane Sampson holding the fruit but not eating it, he asked, "You don’t like this?"

"I do!" Jane Sampson nodded repeatedly, "I like it!"

"Then why not eat it?" James Black asked.

"I’m just so happy that I can’t bear to eat it," Jane Sampson replied, leaning a bit shyly against James Black’s arm.

"If you don’t eat it after picking it, it’ll rot." James Black pried the fruit out of Jane Sampson’s palm and brought it to her lips, "Go ahead, eat."

Jane Sampson smiled, opened her mouth, and took a bite. The fruit was perfectly ripe, sweeter, and more fragrant than she imagined.

"How does it taste?" James Black asked after Jane Sampson had swallowed her bite.

"Delicious, very sweet." Jane Sampson responded crisply.

James Black nodded, letting out a sound, "Let me see how sweet it is."

Jane Sampson pushed the fruit, still by her lips, towards James Black.

Unexpectedly, James Black withdrew his hand, only to lower his head and kiss her.

As their lips met, his tongue slipped in.

Jane Sampson didn’t expect James Black to suddenly make such a move and was frozen there.

The voices outside grew clearer, yet James Black was still playing, gently sucking on her tongue.

Luckily, James Black just had a taste and soon withdrew.

"Indeed, it’s very sweet," he said with a smile in his voice.

Jane Sampson’s ears turned red. Was he talking about her or the fruit?

"Let’s go outside," James Black placed the fruit Jane Sampson had taken a bite of back in her palm.

When the two went out, they bumped into Oscar Wilson and Alexander Forest, who were just about to come in.

Both of them were holding quite a lot of fruit in their hands.

Jane Sampson glanced at them and boasted, "None of yours are as big as mine, nor as sweet."

Alexander Forest: ...

Oscar Wilson: ...

Alexander Forest whispered to Oscar Wilson, "How come I never noticed before that Jane Sampson could be so infuriating?"

"Probably the principle of being influenced by the company you keep," Oscar Wilson explained.

Since Alexander Forest and the others had picked a bunch of fruit themselves, Jane Sampson didn’t take out the ones James Black had placed in her pocket.
